Yesterday, Trasparency Internationl (itnl NGO) released "Corruption Perceptions Index 2005". This is the ranking of mations by standpoint of corruption.

Japan, my homeland, ranked up to No.21, from lower rank last year. ( I doubt it, though, it should be lower!!)

Thailand, my second homeland, is No. 59.

Indonesia, my third homeland, is No.137.

USA, homeland of my niece, is No.17.

And i am not surprised to know that Bangladesh is the worst in the list. No.158 !!! (sorry if any Begali people reading this. but i still love Bangladesh after living in Dhaka 2 years.)

so, ladies and guys from another countries, please check this website yourselves.

I like to say this:

CORRUPTION! Let it work for you!

Of course, Thailand is No.1 country to live for me!! corruption rate and comfort is not linked, I think. in this sense, Khun Lung, you are right!! 555
